From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 205 The God of War Reborn
"Aren't you afraid of causing division if you establish a Martial Grandmaster within the sect?"

Yan Daozong looked at Li Qingqiu and asked, suddenly unable to figure out Li Qingqiu, wondering if the other party was testing him.

After all, his junior brother Hua Daozang valued power highly, as did his master and grandmaster. It was precisely because of this that the atmosphere in Tianxuan Mountain was so serious.

Shen Yue smiled and said, "Our sect leader must mean it sincerely. Moreover, if the Martial Sect wants to split the Qingxiao Sect, they should first ask if our Sword Sect agrees."

"Sword Sect?"

This was the first time Yan Dao Sect had heard of the Sword Sect. On the way here, Shen Yue would introduce Qingxiao Sect to him, but only tell him how strong and good Qingxiao Sect was, without telling him the specific structure.

Li Qingqiu said, "In the world today, you are the first and only person to enter the Dao through martial arts. You will surely be able to push the Dao of martial arts to a new peak. No one is more suitable to be the elder of the Martial Sect than you. With me here, I will not allow the Dao of Immortality and the Dao of Martial Arts to become irreconcilable."

What if you're no longer here?
Yan Daozong almost asked the question, but then felt it would be presumptuous.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll give it a try first. If anyone tries to coerce me into doing anything detrimental to the sect, I will deal with it seriously, or remove me from my position as a Martial Sect Elder."

He feared power struggles and emotional conflicts most of all, and he hoped to focus solely on practicing his martial arts without any distractions.

That's why, even though Hua Daozang was autocratic and tyrannical, he turned a blind eye as long as his disciples weren't harmed.

Li Qingqiu understood his unspoken meaning and pondered for a moment before saying, "How about this? I'll find another person to be the Martial Sect Elder. He'll be in charge of management, and you'll be in charge of passing on the martial arts. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Daozong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately nodded in agreement.

Yuan Qi brought over hot tea; the advantage of knowing magic is that brewing tea is quick.

Li Qingqiu looked at Li Yang, wondering why he had also gone to Tianxuan Mountain. Li Yang did not hide anything; he and Bai Ning'er had gone in search of Xiangrui, who had hidden in Tianxuan Mountain, so they had no choice but to go up the mountain.

"The five-colored deer was imprisoned by my junior brother, but I have already released it. The five-colored deer chose that Qingxiao Sect disciple named Bai Ning'er and returned all the way," Yan Daozong added.

This made Li Qingqiu think more highly of the Yandao Sect.

This person is quite kind; not only did he offer himself to the Qingxiao Sect, but he also brought along an auspicious creature.

Li Qingqiu noticed Shen Yue's gaze and said, "Yuan Qi, take Yan Dao Sect to the Yu Ling Hall to register his identity, temporarily designate him as a true disciple, and arrange accommodation for him."

"Yes!"

Yuan Qi responded and then stood up.

Yan Daozong understood that they had something to talk about, and it was indeed inconvenient for him to listen. He stood up, bowed to Li Qingqiu, and then left with Yuan Qi.

After they left the courtyard, Shen Yue frowned and said, "Sect Master, is there something strange about Tianxuan Mountain?"

"What's strange about it?" Li Qingqiu asked curiously.

Shen Yue said, "When I defeated the Yandao Sect, I felt a killing intent. It was very subtle. Although it only lasted for a moment, I was sure it was real. This killing intent was not simple. It made me feel a chill down my spine. Later, a disciple named Zhang Ping transmitted a message to me, saying that there was something strange hidden in Tianxuan Mountain. He advised me to take them down the mountain as soon as possible. I saw that he looked terrified, so I took people down the mountain early. If I were alone, I would definitely find out the truth. But with other disciples around, I dare not do anything reckless."

After the Xue Jin incident, he became even more concerned about the safety of his fellow disciples.

Zhang Ping?

Li Qingqiu narrowed his eyes. Zhang Ping possessed the destiny of "seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune," and his intuition was probably correct.

"On the way back, I also subtly inquired about the Yandao Sect. He said that no one in Tianxuan Mountain was stronger than him, and no one else was a match for Li Yang. I suspect that he was also kept in the dark. The Sword-Holding Elder of Tianxuan Mountain, Lao Daozang, made me feel uncomfortable. I heard that he held all the power. Perhaps he was secretly preparing something." Shen Yue said as he recalled.

Li Qingqiu also felt that the Yandao Sect didn't seem like the type to lie, but he would have to wait and confirm their loyalty before making any decisions.

We don't expect the loyalty of the Yandao Sect to be high, but it can't be too low, and it certainly can't be zero.

Judging from Yandao Sect's words, he joined Qingxiao Sect willingly. If his loyalty is below 10, then he probably came with a conspiracy.

“I understand. This matter ends here for you.” Li Qingqiu said, looking at Shen Yue and Li Yang.

The two nodded, and without lingering any longer, they rose, bowed, and left.

Li Qingqiu sat in a chair, pondering how to investigate Tianxuan Mountain.

Since the Yandao Sect had personally joined the Qingxiao Sect, he naturally couldn't suppress the Tianxuan Mountain.

Perhaps this is why the Yandao Sect agreed to Shen Yue's bet. If he couldn't defeat Shen Yue, Tianxuan Mountain would be nothing more than fish on a chopping block for the Qingxiao Sect, at their mercy. If he could join the Qingxiao Sect after the defeat, Tianxuan Mountain would become one of their own.

Thinking about it this way, this Yandao Sect member truly possesses great wisdom.

He wasn't simply a martial arts fanatic; he just didn't want to scheme against his fellow disciples.

Li Qingqiu was not worried. Without the Yandao Sect, it would be much easier to investigate Tianxuan Mountain.

After waiting for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Qingqiu finally saw the image of the Yandao Sect in the Daoist Chart panel.

【Name: Yandao Sect】

【Sex: Male】

[Age: 41 years old]

Loyalty (Leader/Sect Leader): 65/75 (Maximum 100)

[Cultivation Aptitude: Exceptional]

[Comprehension: Excellent] [Destiny: Reincarnation of a Martial God, Perfect Martial Body, Immortal Martial Arts in a Moment]

【Martial God Reborn: As martial arts strength increases, one can condense the aura of a Martial God, exerting a certain degree of suppression on enemies in battle. This ability excels at fighting against overwhelming odds, and the more enemies there are, the stronger the aura of a Martial God becomes.】

[Perfect Martial Body: A martial artist who can easily master any martial art and possesses an extraordinary level of understanding and comprehension, with no weaknesses in martial arts and whose techniques are perfect.]

[A Thought of Immortality: One has a chance to change one's destiny once in a lifetime. It requires a profound enlightenment. Once one abandons martial arts for immortality, the existence of a martial god and the perfect martial body will be transformed.]

……

Good guy!
Three special destinies!

Li Qingqiu stared wide-eyed at the panel; it was too luxurious, especially the [One Thought Immortal Martial] destiny, which was simply outrageous.

Those who cultivate immortality through the Yandao Sect will also possess the talent they currently have in martial arts; they are truly the darlings of heaven and earth.

The destiny of "Martial God Reborn" is what Li Qingqiu likes the most. This person is suitable to fight for the Qingxiao Sect!

His exceptional talent and excellent comprehension are comparable to Xu Ning's, and he has two more special destinies than Xu Ning.

Xu Ning only possesses the [Heavenly Thunder Spiritual Root].

For disciples without special destinies, the destiny can only reveal their personality and fate. Although the Yandao Sect does not have personality-type destiny destinies, Li Qingqiu felt that he could be trusted based on his loyalty.

The Yandao Sect is very similar to Shen Yue; they have their own sense of right and wrong, are not swayed by those around them, and are both people who aspire to justice.

After looking at the Yandao Sect's interface, Li Qingqiu had only one thought in his mind.

"Why bother with martial arts? Hurry up and start cultivating immortality with me!"

He decided that he should try to cultivate a good relationship with the Yandao Sect, first raising their loyalty to over 90, and then gradually work towards them.

Even before they began cultivating immortality, the disciples of the Yandao Sect were powerful beings comparable to those at the seventh or even eighth level of the Yangyuan Realm.

Qingxiao Sect has gained another winning trump card!
Li Qingqiu felt incredibly happy when he thought about how, a hundred years later, his six subordinates—Xu Ning, Yuan Li, Yun Cai, Shen Yue, Zhao Zhen, and Yan Daozong—would become the top combat force of the Qingxiao Sect.

Further down the list are the three Xiao brothers, Ji Ya, Li Yang, Yang Xuan, Jian Du, and other super geniuses.

Disciples like Xue Jin, Lu Qing, and Han Lang can become pillars of the sect. If Li Shouzhen and Li Shoumin get tired of being emperors, they can follow him to cultivate immortality and also become pillars of the sect.

Moreover, Qingxiao Sect will continue to produce a steady stream of geniuses in the future.

The foundation is beginning to take shape!

The Qingxiao Sect only needs to develop steadily and avoid provoking powerful enemies. In a hundred years, it will undergo earth-shattering changes. Li Qingqiu plans not to leave the land of Kyushu within a hundred years, nor will he go to sea, so as not to provoke the immortal cultivation sects in distant regions in advance.

There were cultivators on this land before, so there must still be cultivators in this world, just not in the Nine Provinces.

Li Qingqiu was in a great mood. He immediately got up and went to the Tiangong Hall to personally arrange for Zhu Yan to create a Martial Sect.

Emperor Wuzong?

Now I am a Martial Grandmaster, in the future I will conquer the Immortal Hall!

……

Life after joining Qingxiao Sect was easier and even more pleasantly surprising than Yandao Sect had expected. Li Qingqiu treated him well and chatted with him every day. His defeat of Li Yang and Yang Dong did not cause him any trouble, and many talented disciples came to befriend him.

The more Qingxiao Sect disciples the Yandao Sect knows, the stronger its goodwill towards the Qingxiao Sect becomes.

Energetic and cheerful, every disciple here exudes a sense of spirit.

Moreover, the disciples of Qingxiao Sect greatly admired the chivalrous deeds of their sect leader and often asked him about the past of Tianxuan Mountain. When he told them the stories of Tianxuan Mountain's past acts of saving the world, these disciples all held him in high esteem.

As he had thought, Qingxiao Sect was indeed a righteous sect, and he could understand the killings it had committed.

If practicing martial arts and cultivating immortality cannot protect one's own people, how can one talk about saving the world?

Using killing to stop killing is also a righteous path!
On the eighth day after he joined the Qingxiao Sect, Li Qingqiu brought Zhao Zhen to visit him.

Because of Ku Yi and Ku Er's persuasion, Zhao Zhen became very curious about Tianxuan Mountain. When Li Qingqiu offered to take him to see the sect leader of Tianxuan Mountain, he was first taken aback, then excitedly agreed.

The Yandao Sect was also very interested in Zhao Zhen, because Huadao Cang often told him that Zhao Zhen was the number one genius of the Qingxiao Sect.

After they met, they tacitly avoided mentioning anyone else. Li Qingqiu then steered the conversation towards martial arts, and the two quickly became engrossed in the discussion, growing more and more excited as they talked.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Qingqiu felt that they were practically ready to become sworn brothers.

Yan Daozong had never been so excited. He had never received such feedback when discussing martial arts with his fellow disciples. He was actually able to gain insights from Zhao Zhen's words.

As expected of Qingxiao Sect's number one genius!

He finally believed Hua Daozang's words: with Zhao Zhen, Tianxuan Mountain did indeed have a chance to surpass Qingxiao Sect.

However, this idea was shattered in less than five days.

Five days later, Li Qingqiu brought Yuan Li to visit the Yandao Sect. Yuan Li's body cultivation method amazed the Yandao Sect.

He could immediately tell that Yuan Li's comprehension was even higher than Zhao Zhen's!
